Horses v. Harvardmen

Harvard last week received another token of the esteem in which it is held by Cambridge, Mass. To curb the "foolish, rampaging, nitwit Harvard students who break out into a riot now and then," Councilman Charles H. Shea proposed in Council that the city buy six horses (at $200 each) for its police. Said he: "We need mounted police for the Harvard students. I don't know if they are Communists, Bolsheviks or nuts, but we should be ready to cope with them."

Councilman J. Gordon Duffy thought it would take twelve horses. The rest of the Council decided that for 8,000 Harvardmen six horses would be plenty.
